As president and CEO of Blackbaud (BLKB), the world’s leading cloud software company powering social good, I’m focused on delivering unmatched value and innovation to organizations and individual change agents that build a better world. I believe success stems from:
• Putting customers at the center of everything we do -- every day.
• Fostering an inclusive, purpose-focused culture for our team -- where every voice matters.
We have recently been listed as the 18th largest Cloud applications company worldwide by IDC, and we are powering the digital transformation of the social good community through purpose-built, comprehensive cloud solutions that drive impact and outcomes for our customers. Every day I’m energized to see the results of our software, services, data intelligence, and expertise in addressing the unique needs of our millions of users in 60 countries -- including nonprofits, foundations, faith based institutions, companies, education institutions, healthcare organizations, and the individual change agents who support them.
I’m especially proud to lead an organization that holds spots on Forbes’ lists for best employers for diversity and best employers for women. And while Blackbaud already produces significant social good thought leadership we have exciting work ahead with our new Blackbaud Institute Advisory Board to take that conversation to new heights and new potential for all we serve.
In conjunction with leading Blackbaud, I also serve on public and mission-based boards, including the Clemson University President’s Advisory Board, Teradata, and the International African American Museum Board. I'm passionate about advocating for innovation in the tech sector that can help good take over.

I agree very much with most of what you write. I worked for Davy United in Sheffield after graduating from Cambridge, and then left to article with Cooper Brothers to qualify as a Chartered Accountant. Fast forward more than 50 years I am rethinking accountancy so that it is as powerful for social capital and natural capital as it is for economic ( financial capital ). Accounting is a very powerful management tool but mainly used to make more profit ... imagine what it could accomplish if it gets mobilized for everything that matters ... respectfully, PeterB

Formal education was engineering then economics then (chartered) accountancy, a great foundation for corporate management but less so for consultancy in the world of development and humanitarian problem solving. My goal is accountancy for social, environmental and economic activities and impacts.

I don't have military experience, but have done a lot of work trying to put back together societies that have been broken by war and other disasters. Bottom line, I don't like violence but have a huge respect for what the military can do and must do hopefully in coordination with a civil piece.

Dr. Sean McFate is an author, novelist and expert in foreign policy and national security strategy. His career began as a paratrooper and officer in the U.S. Army's storied 82nd Airborne Division. He served under Stanley McChrystal and David Petraeus, and graduated from elite training programs.
After this, McFate became a private military contractor in Africa. Among his many experiences there, he dealt with warlords, raised small armies, worked with armed groups in the Sahara, transacted arms deals in Eastern Europe, and helped prevent an impending genocide in the Great Lakes region.
In international business, he was a Vice President at TD International, a boutique political risk consulting firm. He was also at DynCorp International, BearingPoint (now Deloitte Consulting) and Booz Allen Hamilton. He was also a social scientist for the RAND Corporation.
McFate co-wrote the novels SHADOW WAR and DEEP BLACK (William Morrow), part of the Tom Locke series based on his military experiences. New York Times bestselling author Mark Greaney said: 'I was blown away…. simply one of the most entertaining and intriguing books I've read in quite some time.'
He authored the non-fiction book THE MODERN MERCENARY: PRIVATE ARMIES AND WHAT THEY MEAN FOR WORLD ORDER (Oxford Univ Press) which details how war and world order are changing in the 21st century. The Economist called it a 'fascinating and disturbing book.'
He has appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, MSNBC, Fox News, NPR, BBC, Economist, Vice/HBO, The Discovery Channel, American Heroes Channel and other outlets.
McFate holds a BA from Brown University, MPP from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and a PhD in international relations from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

I became interested in impact almost 40 years ago when I realized that more profit did not mean that society and the environment were going to be progressing as well. Fast forward to now and I am working to improve the management information we use to optimize for impact. Exciting potential!

I am disappointed that the huge gap between the power of managing for profit and the weakness in managing for social good and environmental sustainability still seems to be as wide as ever. We are good at numbering profit, but not about the socio-environmental dimension. This has to change ...

The good news is that there is a lot more interest in impact now than a few years ago. The bad news is that managing for impact is not strong and accountability for bad corporate behavior almost completely absent. I want to see a far better system of numbering so that everything important is in play

I am a creator by nature. I find energy when building things. I have always found my way into industry-building initiatives (especially those that are catalyzing markets to shift for the better of society and the environment) such as social + environmental entrepreneurship, profit-with-purpose, and investing for impact. I am a sustainability junkie, cultural conservationist, citizen scientist, experience architect, one part nomad and one part homebody...and an artist derailed by circumstance.

There has been a massive increase in the interest about impact investing, but maybe rather less movement from a completely unsustainable economy to something substantially better. I see this as a management issue and the almost total absence of numbering for social and environmental performance.

Interesting presentation on PBS, much of which I completely concur ... but I would ask what role higher education has played in setting the stage for the present state of play. I worry that we have the ability to analyze but rather little capacity to manage. We have more data and less understanding.

Political Philosopher and a Professor at Harvard University

See contact info
Michael Sandel was only 21 when fate brought him into dramatically close contact with the big questions of morality that would come to dominate his life. In 1974, while at university, he landed a summer internship at the Houston Chronicle's understaffed Washington bureau, and ended up covering Watergate — sitting in on the Supreme Court deliberations on the Nixon tapes, and the subsequent impeachment hearings on Capitol Hill. 'At the end of that summer, my boss, the bureau chief, was musing about what an incredible story it had been, and he said maybe he would retire now, because it would never be this exciting again,' he recalls. 'This was a man in his mid-50s. I remember saying to him: 'At least you've had a career already. I'm 21. What am I to think? Are you telling me it's all downhill from here?'' This may explain Sandel's decision to shift from the particularities of political journalism to the abstractions of political philosophy: the timeless dilemmas of right and wrong never lose their importance. His talent, as a philosopher, is to inject such debates with some of the adrenaline more usually associated with the world of news and scandal. The course Sandel teaches at Harvard, called 'Justice', regularly attracts 1,200 students, who crowd into the university's largest lecture theatre, while in Britain he is best known for delivering this year's BBC Reith lectures on morality and markets. Now he is attempting to bring ethics to a wider audience still, with a new book based on the Harvard course, and a series on American public television that can be viewed at www.justiceharvard.org. On stage, Sandel adopts an appealing diffidence.

For the past twenty years, my main job has been to listen to someone describe an difficult social, environmental, and/or financial challenge, and then build the best team in the world to advise or mentor those who will solve that challenge. Initially I was expected to find the best person in DC, then the USA, and now it's the world.
My particular interest and expertise is diversity of perspective -- I'll build you a team with overlapping skills and experience so nothing gets missed.
I’m passionate about working with for-profit social entrepreneurs – while all kinds of service bring value to the world, for-profit social enterprise is the place where I’ve found I’m best able to improve our world.
I also teach improvisational comedy and storytelling for entrepreneurs, helping them tell their story 'with' their audience, not 'at' them.
I build things to last -- of the more than a dozen projects, companies, and groups that I've founded or co-founded, most have lasted more than a decade.
For the past 20 years, these words have hung above my desk, and guide me in my work:
'If you have come to serve me
I do not want your help.
If you have come because our fates are bound together
Let's get to work.'
(Paraphrase of Lilla Watson)
